Killed with him were a number of kidnappers including the leader of the group "Abu al-Baraa al-Jazaeri", and the Mauritanian Abdullah Oul Ehmidah, aka. al-Zarqawi. Sources also allegedly "unveiled the nationalities of its elements who participate in the operation, and they are from Algeria, Egypt, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, and Canada."
